Engagd with an Attention Platform

Engagd with an Attention PlatformInformation overload gets beat up with the help of Engagd. This converter allows developers of application and mashups to filter feeds and serve more personalized content.

Engagd has just broken into Alpha. This lifestream converter specially designed for developers merges clickstreams and other data forms together into an APML file. This file can then be used to rank and filter RSS feeds. It can also be used to submit information into other sites to create more personalized online information.

With many sites collecting data on users, Engagd will allow users to take control over their Attention Profiles. Through an Engagd API, developers will be able to add these Attention Profiles to applications and mashups through an API.

Atten.TV feeds your inner voyeur

Atten.TV
We're all about software that makes it easier to stalk friends, neighbors, and others from a safe, non-homicidal distance. But we're a bit dubious about Atten.TV, a new service that lets anyone watch your internet clickstream as entertainment. Sure, this is valuable data for marketers, but it's got to just be dull viewing for anyone else.

Nonetheless, Seth Goldstein says his new venture, Atten.TV, is designed to tap into the same voyeuristic tendencies as Justin.TV.

Basically, Atten.TV is a client that allows you to watch what other users are clicking on TV-style. If they're reading a web page, you'll see the same page. If they're watching an online video, you'll see the same video. If you're not shy, you can also opt-in to the program and allow other users to look over your shoulder. You can either watch live or watch recorded clickstreams.

Right now, Atten.TV is in alpha, with only a Mac client available, and no Atten.TVGuide. Eventually you'll be able peruse a list of active users and select a "channel" to watch. We're just not sure why you'd want to.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
